Homework
Reading
Please ensure your child is reading on a daily basis, with a comment and page number recorded in the reading record. If your child is reading independently this can be completed by them. Please also listen to your child read at least once a week.
Spellings
Spellings will be given out on a Monday in preparation for a test on the following Friday. Children should practise their spellings daily.
Maths - Times Table Rock Stars (TTRS)
Each week the children will be set 20 minutes of a specific game.
Reading - Rockerbox News
Each week the children will be set at least one article to read and answer questions on. They can definitely read other articles too!
Other
Other pieces of homework will be set when relevant to our lessons, the children will always have at least a week to complete these pieces of home work. Additional information for these pieces will be added to our class story on ClassDojo.
PE
PE is currently on Thursday afternoons. Please ensure that your child’s kit is named clearly. Earrings must be removed for all P.E. lessons and long hair tied back. We expect that children’s kits are always in school and kits will be sent home at the end of each half term to be washed.
Helping your child at home
Recapping and revising key facts (such as multiplication facts or spelling rules) at home is incredibly useful and makes a huge impact on their learning in the classroom.
Below are some online iPad-friendly resources. However, if you would like other paper based recommendations feel free to ask Mrs England.
Useful resources:
Hit the Button – practicing times table facts and questions, division facts and questions, square numbers and number bonds (make 100) fluently is essential.
Alongside Garage on TTRS, Multiplication Tables Check is a great tool to practice the Year 4 MTC in a very similar style to the final assessments.
Bitesize for Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 Maths are great resources for recapping topics at home.
Practice Year 6 Maths arithmetic papers (randomly generated and self marking) using Maths Bot.
Bitesize spelling rules to support spelling practice and understanding rules.
Spelling frame for spelling rules games given in our weekly spelling tests.
